Bulletproof Heart

Frank’s POV
“They know the rules, they don’t sit at that table so they need to move, if they don’t then tell them that the fists will start talking and we don’t want that now do we?” I said seriously to the boy who looked liked he was about to piss himself.
”Well what you waiting for unless you want a example made of you.” I said and stood up which made the boy move quickly towards the group of people who was sat round the table which they knew wasn’t theirs to sit around.
”Fucking gorger, who do they think they are?” My brother Freddie said.
”It’s fine, they know who runs this place and it isn’t the teachers.” I said and messed with my lip ring.
”Yeah but one slip and it back to being the pikeys again.” My sister, Esmeralda or Esme for short, said as she looked at me.
”Then we don’t let them call us that, stupid.” I said and Esme just looked at me.
”Heard there was a new kid in school.” Freddie said and I looked at him.
”Whos year are they in?” I asked.
”I don’t fucking know, haven’t got that far in getting information yet.” Freddie said.
”Well you’re just useless aren’t you.” Esme said.
”Jesus Christ, you’re both just as bad as one another and that’s before getting to the part of you being twins.” I said.
”Just because you’re jealous.” Esme chuckled and I pulled out a cigarette and started to smoke it.
“I’m not jealous.” I said and looked at Esme and I noticed someone with bright red hair.
”Have you noticed the boy with bright red hair before?” I said and Freddie and Esme looked to where I was looking.
“Nope, he’s cute though.” Esme said as she messed with her hair.
”Eyes off, his whole body shouts out that he’s gay.” I said.
”Need to get past the goodie two shoes first though.” Freddie said and I looked at him.
”That’s easy, anyway he doesn’t look like he’s a goodie two shoes anyway. Get him settled and I’m sure he’ll start to show what he really is like.” I said and grabbed my bag and gave my cigarette to Freddie which he started to smoke.
”Don’t let mama know about that otherwise she’ll kill you.” Esme said.
”Then you don’t tell mama then dickhead.” Freddie said and I rolled my eyes.
”Esme you don’t tell mama that Freddie smokes can I leave you children to sort yourselves out?” I said.
”Yeah, where you going?” Esme said.
”Got to welcome the new boy. Any trouble and you know where I am.” I said and I walked towards the new boy and goodie two shoes.
”Not boring you to death is he?” I asked and the new boy turned round and so did goodie two shoes.
”Fuck off Iero everyone knows you’re trouble.” Goodie two shoes also known as Finn said.
”Thought I would just come and introduce myself. I’m Frank Iero, if you are in any trouble don’t hesitate to find me.” I said and offered the new boy my tattooed hand which he looked at but took my hand and shook it.
”Bit rude that you know my name but I don’t know yours.” I said.
”Get lost Frank.” Finn said.
”Fuck off gorger, I wasn’t speaking to you.” I said seriously and looked at Finn hard and looked back at the new boy and smiled.
”I’m still waiting for your name.” I said and I new boy nodded.
”Gerard, my name is Gerard.” Gerard said quietly.
”Well it was nice meeting you, like I said you get any trouble come and find me.” I said.
”Yeah like that will happen pikey, now fuck off and leave Gerard alone, he’s not going to be your next lot of meat.” Finn said and I looked seriously at Finn.
”Who I do stuff to is my choice, also I don’t steal stuff from people so don’t call me or my family or even anyone on my travel site a pikey again otherwise you will have to look over your shoulder more often.” I said seriously and stood in Finns personal space which he hated.
I looked back at Gerard.
”Laters Gee.” I said with a wink and walked to my lesson.
Notes
Had this idea floating around for a while now.
Gorger is what travelers call non travel
Please don't doubt your writing. The characters draw you in & you want to stay for the ride! I know anyone who writes is critical of their own work (I am ;-), but the beauty is in allowing the creative process to flow.
I caught up on all 29 chapters in just 2 days. My poor Gee. Frank is so real, hot-headed, caring & loving - love it.
